  1. Remember to double all of the instructions to make both earrings! Begin by threading two headpins with a 4mm crystal, and one headpin with an 8mm crystal. Make a simple loop on all three, close to the bead. Trim off and save the excess wire.
  2. Create a simple loop at one end of each of the three pieces of excess wire.
  3. Thread a 3mm crystal onto two of the wires, and a 4mm crystal onto one of the wires. Make a simple loop on all three, close to the bead. Trim off excess wire.
  4. Open the loops on the three eyepin segments.
  5. At the bottom of your antique silver stamping there are three holes. Thread one of the loops on the 4mm crystal through the center hole.
  6. Thread the loops of the 3mm crystals through the other two holes.
  7. To the other three loops at the headpin dangles, the two 4mm crystals to the outer two loops, and the 8mm to the center. Close all of your loops.
  8. Open the loop on the earring hook, thread it through the hole at the top of your stamping, and close the loop once more.
